My boyfriend has been good at writing really cute posts about me on occasion. And I thought it was about time I put some feelings down in words:
Adrian has been an inspiration. He is a real positive force in my life, something, as a pessimist, I need. He has been able to put things into perspective for me, usually when I’m freaking out about nothing. He has provided me with laughs, hopefully I’ve been able to give some back. The day I found out he likes Monty Python and The Young Ones will rank closely beside the day he told me he likes me.
Those who know me well know I am not a couple-y person, I never have been. I have had one person in my life before Adrian who I called a “boyfriend”, although I never gave that relationship a chance. All the other guys, not many I will add, who I have been seeing have been let go after a couple of weeks at most. In short, I’m an obvious commitment-phobe. And this didn’t really change when Adrian and I started seeing each other. Not only was a good friendship on the line, we are teammates at uni. But something told me this would be different.
In fact, I had practically resigned myself to being forever alone. I was actually content being single, I was just doing my own thing and that was fine. It was great. I didn’t feel pressure at all, I was able to do what I wanted without worrying how it would effect a significant other. I could sit quite happily for a couple of hours with my guitar and really be contempt. And I definitely didn’t want any boyfriend getting in the way.
But Adrian wasn’t any boyfriend. He was exactly what I was missing. He was the best thing that could happen to me that year. He proved to me I really did want a boyfriend, that I really wanted to be with someone like that. He showed me that my stone cold heart could actually love. Adrian was different to other guys, he sparked something in me I was convinced I wouldn’t feel. And that made me sceptical at the start of our relationship. But I am so glad that we did commit to each other, because I am very happy to call him my boyfriend. I am so proud to have the honour of calling such an amazing, beautiful guy my boyfriend.
In fact, he literally makes my heart skip a beat...although that could just be my heart condition.
